The first half saw both teams locked in a tactical battle, with possession fairly even and chances at a premium. Despite a couple of promising set-piece opportunities for both sides, neither team could find a breakthrough before the break.
The second half saw Madrid come out with renewed energy. It wasn't long before Gonzalo broke the deadlock, nodding home a precise cross from Alexander-Arnold. Despite Juve pushing forward in search of an equaliser, Di Gregorio made several crucial saves to keep his side in the game.
Juve struggled to impose themselves as Madrid dominated possession and tempo. Though Bellingham and Valverde offered moments of quality and threat, the Italians were unable to find a way past Madrid's organised backline.
In the end, Real Madrid's victory ensures their progression to the quarter-finals of the CWC, leaving Juventus to rue missed opportunities and a strong defensive display that ultimately fell short.
